Which spare part do I need to go with my ecig

[BanjoBenjo]

I got Vicimo and I am a bit confused about how to use it. First of all, when I drip e-liquid into the tank it's sometimes leaking sometimes not, when I managed to fill 25% of the tank I screwed it back and took a hit, but the smoke was super hot and I couldn't stop coughing. I wanted to pour more liquid but when I unscrewed the tank all juice came out????????? wth???????????????

I guess I am too noob for this and I shoulda stick to vape pens... The leaking part is worst, my whole ecig is now sticky and it just annoys the crap out of me. What am I doing wrong?

Somehow I managed to fill the tank without spill but I feel like something is not right and I am not sure if it's me being a noob or faulty ecig. I tried to vape few times but there is none to tiny bit of smoke, I still feel strong taste in my mouth but there is literally no smoke coming out. Another thing is that mouth piece gets really hot, in a review it says the tank does get hot but not the mouth tip. Help me out here please?

Bumping

 

[Cheallaigh]

you don't need to bump quite yet, just need to let people get home from work

did you prep your coil, or just vape the second you got it together? what watts? what's the full name of the mod and tank/ I tried looking up Vicimo and got nothing.

 

[BanjoBenjo]

I did prep the coil, 50W. The whole thingy's name is Wismec Vicino, if you google it there will be manufacturer's official website with all the specs that I don't understand

Leaking seems to go through airflow control cap, at least for now it doesn't leak if I tighten it but then I can't adjust airflow the way I want. Anyway I googled about sub ohm vaping and people say it takes couple of weeks to get used to, I am fine with that but I don't know why there is very little vapour coming out (and it's quite hot), and not sure what's the problem with overheating.

How did you fill it? (bottom or top)...

 

[Cheallaigh]

ahh you spelled it wrong the first time, no wonder I couldn't find it...
did you do this? the red part

did you prep the coil by starting at low watts for a few puff and taking a few puffs, raising it a few more watts and repeating that to 50w?

Top into the chamber.

My bad haha. Ok this will sound dumb, I wasn't sure if by atomizer head they meant the metal tube inside glass tank? I didn't do it because in the picture it shows to drip onto glass, so I didn't want to break the whole thing. As far as I know I can't adjust watts? At least it doesn't say so in the manual, there's only on/off button.

Thanks for helping!

I can upload more pics if there's anything specific you would like to see.

 

[Cheallaigh]

yeah... so inside that tube, inside the glass... that's priming the coil/head. you might have burnt the coil that's in there dry firing it. we've all made mistakes, no worries, lesson learned.

 

[BanjoBenjo]

Haha oh God I broke it because I was too cautious not to break it. I have a spare coil, so what I should do is drop a bit of eliquid onto coil, then few drops into atomizer, fill the tank, and fire it up?

 

[Cheallaigh]

basically, yes! just like 3 drops or so, let it sit for about 5 mins to let it saturate and it should be good. you can try that with the current coil, but it might be burnt.

 

[Cheallaigh]

once you get it going, if it gurgles, it might be a bit too much juice on the coil/head... a q-tip when it's cool down the driptip can soak up the excess.

 

[djsvapour]

As far as I know, most top fill tanks can be filled from the bottom while you have the base off to change/fit the atomizer coil (if the top cap is on properly). This tank has an extra 'tube' though and I'm not sure how it pieces together. The glass seems kind of 'floating', a bit like some other Eleaf products which confuses me without being able to see it.

Take it apart, get a feel for it.

With it in pieces, fit the atomizer coil to the base and drip liquid into any juice holes and into the atomizer.
Then work out whether you attach the vent pipe then.....followed by the glass section or it works differently. Play with it with no liquid in it and figure it out. Basically, find a way to 'juice the coil' then construct the tank leaving just the top cap off. Then you can fill it and put on the top.

Yeah it gurgles, aight I will wait an hour and try to remove some juice. Took like 2 sec hit and my throat still feels sour from it, I can't say I'm having a lot of fun with it so far

@djsvapour

Damn I've shoulda studied engineering, maybe then I could make this work properly Are all sub-ohm devices so beginner-unfriendly? Me from 12h ago was looking forward to enjoy some big clouds, was hoping to just screw the thing, refill, and hit, but I am stuck figuring out technicals and hits are too hard. Anyway I will see if I manage to like this, if not I will just stick to regular vape pen.

Thank you all

 

[Cheallaigh]

you don't need to leave it that long unless it's for your throat. give it 5 mins. you can even shake it upsidedown to get the excess out.. I just like the q-tip.

 

[BanjoBenjo]

Ehh to get to the coil I will have to dump liquid again... Hate my life right now lol And then have to clean the cig 948548539th time, and my hands. ASDASFAAFSFNASNf Yeah I am complaining too much but didn't expect this to be so difficult.

 

[Cheallaigh]

why are you trying to get to the coil?

 

[Cheallaigh]

you don't need to, unless you're replacing it. just run a q-tip down the chimney via the driptip.

 

[BanjoBenjo]

Oh okay, anyway I removed the excess but I guess not well enough because its still gurgling, and I get 0 vapour, only juice in my mouth and the tank is like 20% full. I give up.

 

[Cheallaigh]

grab some tissues, wrap them around the base of the tank where the air vents are.... hold down the power and blow INTO the tank through the driptip, should get rid of the last of the excess

here's a video as well to hopefully help some.

Do that without unscrewing just cover the airvents? I will do it tomorrow and report back. That guy says airflow thingy controls ejuice flow? If I open it the juice comes out (?) so what's the point of this feature?

Can liquid excess cause lack of vapour production? I am still baffled by this... I might take this ecig to my local store and ask if they could have a look at it for me, but then I'd feel bad not to buy something/tip them but I can't spend any more cash, still gotta get refund for Amigo and I bought £10 liquid because guy from shop helped me with opening the tank (it was dead stuck).

One more thing, the guy from shop opened tank with scissors, I don't think he caused it but when I screw the top of the tank the glass doesn't fit nicely under the cap (there is a tiny tiny gap on one side) and for the love of god I can't close it evenly. Would that affect my ecig in any serious way?
